As I mentioned previously, I've been rather reluctant towards these. It's hard. It makes me feel like I've done nothing so then I feel guilty but, you know what, I've been damn well busy and productive with the process of this film so there's that going for me.
I would read others' blogs from time to time to get a bit of encouragement but, often, this has had the complete opposite effect. Most notably, my team mates.
One, depending on my current mood, normally gives me a giggle, but then I feel bad. It makes me think I do nothing but yell and get angry or frustrated all the time, so that doesn't particularly paint me in a positive light. That said, I have ensured to take the opportunity to talk about this properly, and we're good, so I'm happy.
In One's blog, I've seen evidence of, er, homework I've set him. For example, watching Ed Wood's (terrible) Glen or Glenda? which we also discussed in person. Upon researching it (this is actually annotated and highlighted in my production folder at the start), I found out that it was originally supposed to be about transexuals, although Wood, being an active transvestite himself during a decade where it was much less accepted compared to now, decided to make it on specifically transvestites instead. He wanted to raise awareness in his time, so I wanted to at least touch up on this.
Glen or Glenda? isn't a documentary at all, but rather a semi-autobiographical film to raise just a spot of awareness with a strange combination of Wood's horror elements, most notably the lighting, and involving Dracula narrating. Bizarre. But I digress.
